Joey Kovar(1983-2012)
- Actor
Joseph Eugene Kovar, aka "Joey Kovar", is a very courageous, optimistic
and positive man. Joey Kovar is a very well-known young talented
Chicago actor, model and wrestler, who is extremely popular with
today's youth. Joey made his first debut on MTV's
The Real World (1992)
Hollywood and moved on to VH1's
Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew (2008),
putting up the ratings, stealing the limelight and spotlight from
everyone on the show that stood beside him.. What most don't know is
that, as a child, young Joey was mentally and physically abused by his
mother. He was introduced, at a very young age, to drugs and alcohol by
his own mother and father. His father, an alcoholic, and his mother, a
user of cocaine, were bad influences and unfit parents for young Joey
Kovar. Joey, at the time raised by these unfit guardians, grew up
thinking that alcohol and drugs were acceptable in a household. It was
inevitable that Joey Kovar's past would lead him later to a path he
never wanted to take. Now, Joey Kovar, himself, who grew up with all
the odds against him, is a survivor of drugs and alcohol abuse, still
fighting his urges today, because he has a dream of becoming "The Next
Generation Action-Star".
